Makuri 40 is a tour de force of Makuri Island, giving riders a little taste of nearly everything the island has to offer, from cityscapes to peaceful rural scenery. This medium-distance route is fairly balanced in terrain, with rolling hills, some flat stretches, and a few short climbs to add spice.
Attacks will likely happen on the hilly sections, where climbers and rouleurs can try to break up the group. Sprinters should conserve energy for the flatter sections, as theyre likely to be outmatched on the climbs. This course rewards all-rounders who can keep a strong tempo through varied terrain and have enough power left to handle a fast-paced finish.
